The request was granted and when in the net of drinking the proffered bever¬ age, one of the young men pres¬ ent exclaimed : “•Stop; make us a speech. It is poor liquor that donT unloosen a a man’s tongue.” The tramp hastily swallowed down the drink, and as the rich liquor coursed through his Mood he straightened himself and stood before them with a grace and dig¬ nity that all Ids rags ami dirt could not obscure. “Gentlemen,'’ he said, “I look to night at you, and at myself and*it seems to me l look upon the picture of ny lost manhood.

The swinging doors pushed open and shut again and when the little group about the bar looked up the the tramp was gone. Between two evils some men choose both. When winter dies spring will furnish the flowers. About tho greatest, ^drawback to a man’s happiness is him gif. Tho majority may rule if (lie minority isut made up of women. The less a man amounts to, the more he boasts of tho deeds of his ancestors. A man who looks only at, ono side of a thing imagines every man does the same.
